  LDControls.SetButtonStyle error
Posted by: martmen - 04-04-2025, 10:00 PM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (1)

Hallo LitDev,Martin


schau mal das Programm ZSWC978.000 an. Die Button müssten eigentlich identisch aussehen. Ist aber nicht so. LDControls.SetButtonStyle verändert die Weite des Button. Das sollte nicht so sein oder steckt hier ein Sinn dahinter, den ich noch nicht erkannt habe.

Viele Grüße

  Any extension that can do HTTP post requests?
Posted by: Yumda - 04-04-2025, 09:00 AM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (4)

Hi there:

Just want to know if there are extension that can allow small basic to do HTTP post request, specifically with JSON bodies or custom headers?

OR if not, what would be possible work around? ( Hopefully not to complicated...)

Thanks for all the help.

Regards

Yumda

  some help - part one
Posted by: Yumda - 03-21-2025, 07:49 AM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (7)

Hi there:

Not sure what I am doing wrong, I tried to write a simple cipher program for kids to play. The prime IDE compiled without any problem, but once create the new map and input the text to encrypt, the program terminated without showing the result in text window...  I have created the unique word group it is saved into my P drive.  I will have to post this in multiple parts as it has exceeded the maximum number of characters allowed

Any help would be great.

here are the code:

Code:
' Unified Encryption and Decryption Program for Small Basic
TextWindow.Write("Encrypt (E) or Decrypt (D)? ")
mode = Text.ConvertToLowerCase(TextWindow.Read())

If mode = "e" Then
  Goto encryptMode
ElseIf mode = "d" Then
  Goto decryptMode
Else
  TextWindow.WriteLine("Invalid mode. Use E or D.")
  Program.End()
EndIf

encryptMode:
CRLF = Text.GetCharacter(13) + Text.GetCharacter(10)
spaceReplacement = "空"
usedCombinations = ""

For i = 1 To 26
  alphabet[i] = Text.GetCharacterCode(Text.GetSubText("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", i, 1))
EndFor
For i = 27 To 52
  alphabet[i] = Text.GetCharacterCode(Text.GetSubText("abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", i - 26, 1))
EndFor

TextWindow.WriteLine("Select cipher session:")
TextWindow.WriteLine("0: Generate new cipher map")

' Example hardcoded list 
sessionList[1] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-15_10-22-35.map"
sessionList[2] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-16_11-30-00.map"
sessionList[3] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-17_14-42-55.map"
sessionList[4] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-18_16-12-45.map"
sessionList[5] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-19_18-03-30.map"
sessionList[6] = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_2025-03-20_09-44-10.map"

For i = 1 To 6
  If sessionList[i] <> "" Then
    TextWindow.WriteLine(i + ": " + sessionList[i])
  EndIf
EndFor
TextWindow.Write("Choicp: ")
choice = TextWindow.ReadNumber()

If choice = 0 Then
  now = Clock.Date + " " + Clock.Time
  newTime = ""
  For i = 1 To Text.GetLength(now)
    ch = Text.GetSubText(now, i, 1)
    If ch = "/" Or ch = ":" Then
      newTime = newTime + "-"
    ElseIf ch = " " Then
      newTime = newTime + "_"
    Else
      newTime = newTime + ch
    EndIf
  EndFor
  now = newTime
  sessionMapPath = "p:\cipherwheel\session_maps\letter_map_" + now + ".map"
  File.WriteContents("p:\cipherwheel\last_session.txt", sessionMapPath)
  File.DeleteFile("p:\cipherwheel\letter.map")

  Challenge 12 - Rotating triangle
Posted by: litdev - 02-17-2025, 09:23 AM - Forum: Challenges - Replies (9)

Create a triangle shape in the center of a GraphicsWindow and rotate it left and right with arrow keys.

This is trickier than you may think NOT using an extension and will need some experimentation to work out the rules for it.

When you get this you could extend to using the line shape to make clock hands.

  Chart Doesn't show true values
Posted by: jrmrhrb00 - 02-15-2025, 11:10 PM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (6)

In the chart function it does not show the true value. It will show a percentage and it graphs the true value, but will not show it. In the snippet if ran you will see what I mean.

Code:
Data["2000"]=1
Data["2001"]=2
Data["2002"]=3

Name=LDChart.AddChart(500,400)
LDChart.Legend(Name,1,"Legend_percent","True")
LDChart.Properties(Name,"Column",1)
LDChart.SetData(Name, Data)

It charts the data values 1,2,3 but will not show them. It does show the percentages up to 100%. Would it be possible in SetData to make values as a choice to show? Then it would show the value rather than a percentage?

  LDdictionary not working
Posted by: jrmrhrb00 - 02-10-2025, 11:36 PM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (32)

LitDev, 

Did you know that the LDDictionary function isn't working? I found that the regular one in small basic doesn't work any longer and then I tried yours and it doesn't work either.

  DeepSeek.c0m
Posted by: jrmrhrb00 - 01-28-2025, 04:03 PM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (1)

Since the company "DeepSeek" is in the news I thought I would try it out. So, I went to "DeepSeek.com".

I did find that the website offers free access "V3" to its AI model. Also, I did find that it can do a really good job of coding with "Small Basic" and it can utilize the "LitDev" extension. I was impressed with DeepSeek's coding ability which it is known for.

You might want to give it a try.

Brick 3D maze in browser controlled by Small Basic
Posted by: litdev - 01-26-2025, 10:25 AM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (128)

I have been playing with 3D in a browser, simulating a maze environment that needs to be navigated by a simple controller.  This was inspired by some discussions with SB user Stevan Tosic.

I have openned it up to be controllable by Small Basic.

To have a go you need to:

1] Get LitDev beta extension 1.2.29.15 from Extension Manager or my website (new Network command added).
2] Open the 3D maze in a browser (https://litdev.uk/apps/maze3D).
3] Get my sample SB controller program XRWF529.000.

Everything should be fairly self explanatory from comments in the SB sample.

The idea is to improve the navigation skills of the observer in the maze - my sample is very crude and not very good at all.  Think of it like the Turtle in 3D trying to navigate a maze, maybe a control logic or AI challenge.

It would be possible for multiple players to interact in this environment, but this is not implemented yet.  The only information stored is the control data and your IP address to distinguish potentially different users running on the server.

Question/feedback very welcome.

   

EDIT

Some updates:

Example solving the maze - one way to control the 'dumb' robot: JTDS122.000
Emplty room test space: https://litdev.uk/apps/maze3D/empty.html
Simple random walk example using 'intelligent' robot: GRWW331.000
Example looking at latency timing of commands: JKQM901.000-0
https://litdev.uk/apps/maze3D/settings.html can be used to create your own maze
Control variables (rotate and forward) added, they take change in angle (degrees) and forwards distance (in current direction), ZDPD698.000
Game name and Observer player added to settings
Added (action=getAll) that will return basic data about all users present in your 'game' - QRHC107.000
Async methods to get event when animations complete - PTSV104.000
Comprehensive example (find all maze cells and BFS maze navigation) - MSRQ812.000
